Fractional CMO Services
What is a fractional CMO?
A Fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) is a senior marketing executive who provides strategic marketing leadership on a part-time, interim, or contract basis. This model allows organizations to access experienced, C-suite–level marketing expertise without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
A Fractional CMO is responsible for setting marketing strategy aligned to business goals, defining brand positioning and messaging, overseeing campaigns and channels, guiding internal teams and external partners, and establishing KPIs to measure performance and drive results. Beyond execution, they bring an objective, outside perspective, helping companies make smarter decisions faster.
This approach is especially valuable for small to mid-sized businesses, startups, and organizations in transition—such as periods of growth, transformation, or market change—where seasoned marketing leadership is needed, but a full-time CMO is not yet practical or necessary.
Services
Marketing Strategy, Research, and Advisory
It’s difficult to see consistent results without a solid strategy and plan, and this is essential in marketing. Successful marketing strategies are built on a solid foundation of industry research and discovery including knowing your competition, target audience and client personas, company differentiators, branding and messaging that resonates, and understanding where to best communicate your message where your target audience is engaged. These elements form the foundation of an effective marketing strategy. Infuse Marketing’s strategy sessions will result in a targeted marketing plan to help you set a solid foundation in which to implement effective marketing tactics that drive qualified leads and increase customer retention. Learn how to craft an effective marketing strategy.
Marketing Leadership and Management
Once a thoroughly defined marketing strategy is in place, execution of that strategy is the next step. Having the right team in place is essential to effectively execute the plan through digital or traditional marketing tactics, PR, and sales strategies. Infuse Marketing can help you execute your strategy by utilizing our fractional CMO service including management of your current in-house marketing team, hiring and building a team in-house or with freelancers, or by utilizing Infuse Marketing’s vetted and experienced partner network.
